RE: Winter Goats

@slobberchops
Hello!
Please rethink your approach if your end goal is to make steem a better place. An approach of education and positivity will have much more success than coming in with anger, fear mongering, and spam.

Thank You for the consideration with your group going forward.

Hello @wellnesschange, there is no anger, fear mongering, and spam amongst SFR, we just care about the reward pool and abuse on it.

We are not here to persecute you either. Do you honestly feel like your 14 words and a single picture was worth $11?

I see your latest post is long and content rich. That's great, but just be careful of @cheetah getting you. I can see its yours and on your own website but the cat cant always tell.

Thanks for your response! I see what the group is trying to do - just think it can be done in a healthier way.
Also the anger and fear mongering that I noted can be disputed - but the spam part can't. I count 17 posts from your group on this post. None of which speak of the goats. These 17 posts also include self promotion for your group to anyone who stumbles upon this post. That is spam and can't be argued.

Regarding the worth - Value is in the eye of the beholder. If I had a huge following on steemit, this post could easily surpass this. Though, I do not have a large following. I still believe that the post is worth more than $11. I could easily frame this picture and sell it in person for two or three times that amount. I could understand your point if it was to the point of $75 - $100+ dollars, but that is not the case.

Thank you for your time. I am simply looking to help change steemit for the better.

Although I may not agree with the valuation of the post which is exacerbated by the bought votes, I like your attitude and appreciate your feedback.

As for the follow on flags, note that they are not replies to the OP but replies to the reply. That is a different context. Their comments are affirmations to the original approved flag. We have human operators in a Discord channel that initiate the command for a previously approved SFR mention.

There is a degree of work that goes into the process and overall we improve the quality of content on this platform. It makes users consider the implications of what type of content they boost and the effort that is perceived due to the risk of flags reducing or nullifiying ROI.

I would prefer no users use bots and stand by their work. It is bid bots and other forms of voting collusion that are undermining one of the greatest strengths of this platform which is proof-of-brain.

The strength if Steem isn't passive income scams serving narcissistic people and undermining the power of honest curation. That is a weakness that bid bot apologists like @sorin.cristescu don't seem to readily grasp.

The incredibly power of Steem lies in it's potential to be a place where any man can succeed granted talent and/or effort is put in. This requires a higher degree of integrity in curation.

As I have said before, if there is not integrity in curation, it is useless.

I am not a bit bot apologist! (Crying face)
I was born and raised in communist Romania and I know you can't fight human nature. Bots are here whether we like them or not and preaching hasn't worked so well thus far. Maybe it will work better in the future, I hope. Meanwhile I try to propose some "painkiller" to treat one symptom: a poor quality Trending page.
